We have met some new friends, seen some new things, and experimented with new ideas. We had local, national, and international talent come to our village and create experiences we can talk about for hours. For three days Wakefield was abuzz with theatre goers zipping between the venues and trying to stay dry. This year we had more offerings in more days and we experimented with different ideas just to see if they'd work.
This blog was one of those experiments. The immediacy was something intriguing for me as a writer. I learned a few new tricks...including being able to thumb type quickly. I hope that you enjoyed following along with my ramblings as much as I did writing them.
Eric and I opted for an earlier night tonight. We left Kaffe 1870 and Robert Rooney trying to figure out when we can bring back Archy and Mehitabel (the play with the most buzz this year), passed by the United Church and Chaotica packing up for the journey home, and drove out of the village talking about some of the actors we met in the past few days. The kettle will come to boil soon and we will sit in our living room and talk about the village we call home. We will talk about the last few days and how we got to spend quality time with our friends and neighbours.
Most of all, we will finish up this festival on this damp night with a sense of awe and gratitude that such an event can happen in this village of ours. And, not for the first time, count our blessings to live in such an odd and creative place.
May the same hold true for all of you.
Good bye.
Fifty-one weeks to Piggyfest 2010.
